Celebrate Trails Day on June 6

BIG SKY – The Big Sky Community Corporation’s Trails Committee is inviting local volunteers to join in a fun day of family-friendly trails projects to improve the Big Sky community trails system in celebration of National Trails Day, Saturday June 6.

Every first Saturday in June, communities across the country participate in National Trails Day by supporting the volunteer efforts of local trails organizations. BSCC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity that builds and manages more than 16 miles of public trails in Big Sky. Trails Day is a great way for the community to join together in an effort to enhance and preserve the local trails system.

Interested volunteers should meet at the Big Sky Community Park, located at 373 Little Coyote Road, by 9 a.m. to help with a variety of trail projects to suit all ages and abilities.

After a fun day on the trails, volunteers will meet back at the pavilion by 12 p.m. for a barbecue lunch. The event is free and open to the public. Volunteers should bring gloves, sunscreen, water bottles, and trail-friendly footwear and clothing. Some tools are provided, but additional shovels, rakes, and wheelbarrows are welcome.
